How to Build a WordPress Website?

If you are looking for a cheap web hosting, then WordPress web hosting is the answer. After choosing your hosting service, it’s time to build your WordPress website.

WordPress is considered the best content management system for your website
due to its excellent security measures, reliability and ease of use. A perfect
WordPress website can be created through a series of easy to follow steps.

Choose a domain.

The first step on how to build a WordPress website is to choose a domain. It
is important to have a domain since users can easily find or share your website
to other social media or network such as Facebook.com. The are available
articles that can guide you in choosing a domain. A domain can be bought from
GoDaddy, Sedo and iWantMyName.

Choose the right hosting package.

You also have to choose a hosting package which is considered significant
since the wrong choice of a hosting package will result to issues in your
website. Selecting a web host must be based on limitations such as the number of
bandwidth and storage that can be allocated, hosting company profile and
experience, and the price. You must consider if the host provides for a trial
period to assess its competitiveness as well as know about additional costs so
as not spend a lot in building a WordPress website. Recommendations from friends
who have availed of hosting services are very important to ensure appropriate
selection.

Upload your WordPress.

To upload your WordPress, you need to download and unzip the latest version
of WordPress prior to uploading it to your hosting account using file transfer
protocol or FTP. Creating a database where all WordPress data is stored is done
by using the host control panel. When installing WordPress, some basic
information are needed to complete the installation and the creation of your
account. You can now log into the admin panel once the information have been
submitted.

Choose your theme.

Choosing a WordPress theme which is the design for your website should be
based on all your requirements and its ability to be customized. WordPress
themes can be bought from ThemeForest, StudioPress and WooThemes. After
installing WordPress and after selecting themes, you will make some basic
configurations like activating a tool for detecting spam, configuring
permalinks, adding Gravatar.

Update your website.

WordPress should also be secured to make it hard for anyone to exploit your
website by keeping WordPress up to date, not using wp_ as database table prefix,
and removing admin user name. Plug-ins are also ready to install.

Essential pages such as home page, about page, contact page and
products/services are created so that a person who visits your blog can find
what they need immediately.

Search engines should be optimized so as to draw as much targeted traffic as
possible. You can then set up analytics and set-up a backup for both database
and files so as not to lose all online assets using either VaultPress,
BackupBuddy or WP-DB-Backup.
